My First Track Day | Yamaha R1

[@yammienoob]

You look solid out there man, I'm sure the instructor will bump you out of C group.

[@Motophileo]

Almost ready for TDJU 😂

[@geoff9512]

Imagine seeing a bloke dressed like that on a track day and thinking "he thinks his f****** Jonathan Rea" and then he comes flying past you like you're standing still and thinking "oh s*** that is Jonathan Rea". That would be mint.

[@fast_odin]

That literally happened to me my first time i went karting with a Gt3 lambo driver Albert Costa

[@verdeboyo]

Exactly!🤣

[@richardwallace2120]

Brilliant comments😂

[@dossants]

Jonny have to say, this is the content you fans want to see, keep it up

[@nickyb6435]

Great video,I'm thinking a head to head with 44 teeth's R1, Statham vs Rea

[@Ang3losM]

You know what is so exciting about Jonathan, being on that level and still sharing and uploading you daily life on KZbin is the most beautiful and purest form of videos anyone can get. Mad Respect pal! Keep rocking that Yamaha, wish you the best ✌😎

[@VMorghulisreal]

Welcome to our world, JR! Every weekend many of us are pulling hard to the throttle on track days!

[@36moto]

Great format, and obviously one on the fastest riders on the planet, out with his pals, on his own bike. ( private track hire though) Can’t wait to see what’s coming on the Gytr…. Brilliant…

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Beautiful bit of kit JR . Great to see you at the NW supporting the roads lads

[@paulrushton7629]

Possibly the quietest track day ever. All the same, I'd love you to attend one of the Bennetts track days. Im sure there would be a spot made for you no matter the course. Cadwell Park would no doubt bring back some memories for you. Hope to see you around.

[@heymanmotorsports49]

This is THE best episode you have EVER made💪

[@stevieweir6414]

Great to see you riding on home turf again boss, even if it’s just for fun.

[@aslkdjfzxcv9779]

you're livin the dream.

[@robertgallacher7214]

Nice one. Tell yer man he is holding the fuel container the wrong way for filling up, turn it on it's side. Lets the air in and no splashy surging while pouring.

[@stephenchapman8344]

Brilliant ! Can totally relate to that place as I’ve done a few track days there with Phillip McCallen and Jeremy McWilliams. 👍

[@rickywest57]

Love it !! Am sure your be back ✊🏻🇬🇬👍🏻

[@tonyaustin1895]

Nice to see you and ya Brother,having fun

[@the3rddecline]

I would love to see you at an actual track day, with other riders on track. Great stuff! 😊

[@Kukisan24]

Jonny will get it dialed in for sure ❤

[@garrettmcmillan672]

Absolute class

[@verdeboyo]

Hey Mr Rea, this is awesome material. Please keep it coming when you have free time away from racing please👍🏻

[@Tomygfender]

Brilliant having a superbike champion advising on a stock bike and what setup to use

[@czierwo]

Awesome content! To see a racing legend do what we all do out there on track days. Turn suspension knobs and see how things change 😃 Just wish there was some traffic, not a one bike show, that's so boringly exclusive 🤪 I've got a 06 636 that I bought for peanuts and love chasing bikes of 10 fold the value around track 😈 Great fun doesn't need to be expensive. 😍

[@bckmkr1]

When you get done riding that Johnny send it over to me here in Florida and I can replace my 1981 Yamaha Seca 550, my profile picture, that I used to club race and now do track days on. Great video, Thanks Mate!

[@grindking4083]

Love the content lets watch the set up at track on the GYTR

[@SuffolkZX]

If I win the lottery I want one just like that, looks and sounds so good. Good luck for the rest of the year, I'm sure your going to be back on the top step soon

[@alanjackson3589]

It would be great to get you back for the sunflower Jonny just imagine how many of your Irish fans would turn up it would be back to the old days when big crowds came to watch racing.

[@MartinMcMartin]

You couldn't ride on a public track day, the local goons would kill themselves trying to keep up with the great JR

[@TheBlade20046]

Sunflower trophy entry confirmed

[@colinclugston4757]

Be nice to see him at the sunflower again , but the circuit is now up for sale looking like the end of racing at bishopscourt or maybe Johnny & investors could buy it & make it an even better circuit.

[@TheBlade20046]

@@colinclugston4757 yes I seen it’s for sale. Unfortunately I think its days are numbered as local residents complain about the noise. It is already restricted on what it can do because of that. Hard to run a circuit like that

[@Squiserker]

Must be insane to see you in real life during a track day 😁 Great video as usual 🔥

[@radost0514]

this type of content is really cool ,you can keep make it ...people will love to see champion builds and tune suspension and driving fast maybe even some lesson on the technique that you use at corners

[@jrea65]

More to come!

[@tigereye2412]

鈴鹿8h耐久レースのてっぺんに立つジョナサン・レイを…待って居ます😊

[@Fifty-one-Fifty]

Ahh you'll be grand JR just stay calm and don't mind the other riders

[@SuperzzDazz]

Would like to see more raw, full laps but a cool video, cant wait to more of the trackday r1

[@stephenmorrison4834]

Nice to see you back at Bishops Court jonny great wee track need more top racing at it bike looks good mate great job on it have fun on it

[@daz4172]

Can I book Jonathan Rea catering for Brands? It looked like you enjoyed that first outing on your Yamaha. Shame you don't know someone at Yamaha Racing that could help with fork and shock settings!

[@pjwork3091]

More content like this please 😁

[@motobudol]

Amazing content hope we can see more!

[@Mockle07]

That’s some home workshop! 👀🤤

[@akkikrause9568]

schicke Garage...🙂🙂

[@savvidisaudio]

Great stuff, Jonathan :) I don't know how (maybe overly) sensetive my empathy is but delivering a training bike with NO preload to a world champion and openly communicating this in public, might be the most subtle "Yamaha watch your stuff"-kinda warning someone has ever pulled off 😂

[@XtremeCoke]

"This guy looks fast" Then " Oh he is J REA!!!"

[@captinktm]

I loved it when the pros do track days. I was a good ish club racer and would ride my R1 to track days for fun and cheap practise. I was at Donington on one such occasion leading the fast group thinking I was .........Steve Hislop, when a guy on a 125 passed me like i was parked at the old hairpin. Yes it was a young Leon. I also used to race with a guy called Jim Gaitley in NI back in the 70's I believe he became the British Quad champ much later on? Did your paths cross?

[@motogte]

The weather is always this good in NI folks!

[@woooster17]

What a quality video, class track day bike and some good mates.. that’s all you need. I have to say though, my track day experiences don’t mirror JR’s track day experiences.. If only 🙏🏽😂😂 The Yamaha WSBK will click soon mate, then the results will come.. absolute certainty 👊🏼🏆

Love the content, when you're back in Aus. Can you do some content around PI?

[@walterdemo2895]

Push starting a YZR500 been much easier & more fun but least got a good battery in that cool mini-truck to haul or drag this thing away :)

[@adamnakajima8343]

I love this Insta360 images! But I remember Nilox back in 2013. What was the basis it worked for back then? Anybody knows? Thanx for some response! Cross my fingers as always for you, Jon! 🤞💪🍀

[@Colin-ci5ll]

Come on Jonathan at least you can tell your fans when you are going down to Bishops Court. Before the event not to much to ask for ??😀

[@dtrides]

Brillant!... but where are the squids swooping around and brake-checking you at the corners that are at normal track days?..lol

[@andyadair85]

wtf is a squid?

[@dtrides]

@@andyadair85 a squid is usually a newer rider, rides over their head, thinks they should be riding in Moto gp but don’t have a clue . They also might be sporting a stick on Mohawk on their helmet and wearing cheap, but flashy gear….;)

[@derekmcconachie2349]

Still one of the best track bikes out the crate….

[@KHIJAPAN]

The bike looks fantastic! R1 is the best bike for track days, MT-10 is the best do it all street bike

[@andygerrard2874]

Should of got yourself a BMW Jonathan 😉

Should have used the R1 for the NW200 lap

[@JohnHonda101]

I reckon I could have had you there JR.😉

[@dhjorgenson]

Thanks for this. You said you don't have the confidence to get into the throttle on the race bike. Man that's incredible, that's my issue as well and I'm just a new guy at track days. My panigale intimidates the hell out of me on throttle. I just don't want to pull it! Good to hear the pros have the same issue! 😊

[@SupahDave636]

You really are as bad at "mechanicking" as you are good at riding a Superbike, Jonathan 😂😂 I love this kind of content. Please keep making videos like this that show us what you do when you're away from the WSBK paddock

Yep, we want to hear the engine, that’s music.

Better than ZX, right?

[@christophereaves7108]

imagine having Rea turn up at your track day

[@classicraceruk1337]

It would show how slow you really are!!!! When I was racing I was at a practice day at Brands. This guy came flying passed. I got back to the paddock and he was next to us. Looked over and it was Sir John Surtees on his Patton. I don’t remember anyone getting near him. Class never leaves for sure.
